  Author(s): Bushra Elfatih Bushra Suliman*
  
  Plant compounds are of interest as a source of safe and effective substitutes of the classic synthetically produced antimicrobial agents. Hence, this study aims to investigate the phytochemical constituents and antimicrobial activity present in Acacia nubica root bark extracts. The plant was extracted by maceration using ethanol (70%). The crude extract was used for the detection of the phytochemical constituents. The antibacterial activity was measured by the agar well diffusion method. The qualitative chemical analysis of the crude organic extracts confirmed the presence of diterpenes, cardiac glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and phenols. The chemical ingredients were identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The major constituents in crude ethanol extract were 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (3.96%), di-n-octyl phthalate (4.33%), n-hexadecanoic acid (1.6%), and 4.. Read More»
